What I have seen on my journey
Seems too true to tell
So I'll try in my own way
To take you there with me
As once on dark paths
Far from here in northern lands
Saw what took my breath away
What I didn't know until then
Blood in the eye
On sore knees
So I sank down
So I found her
So I determined to stay there
What I've seen didn't set me free
To discover her secret
The night was lorn for me
Day by day in grey rain
I searched for the view again
Have been fallen for the charm
I had never seen before
Blood in the eye
On sore knees
So I sank down
So I found her
Left behind the cities portals
I travelled up into icy heights
Thunderstorms, Thunder's lash
Tried myself to decay
Looked into the water's falls
Behind bushes, birche's groves
Restless views, grey the waves
Where might she have stayed?
Sleepless, restless I'm searching...
Quiet, whispering, she doesn't hear me...
Over rocks, mountains and heathland
Spinnet, thorns, darkness
I'm searching for her by night, the white one
Searching for the glistening heaven's sheen
English Translation
"Blood in the eye"
